Dunn’s Famous BC

An iconic Montreal smoked meat restaurant and delicatessen has opened its first western Canadian location in Vancouver. “Dunn’s Famous” is a truly loved Quebec institution founded in 1927 by Myer Dunn. It uses traditional recipes that include unique brine, proprietary light rye sourdough bread and always hand sliced, prepared to order, your-choice-of lean to fat, double A beef brisket smoked for 17 hours then steamed for 3 hours immediately before serving.

The first west coast location offers all the Montreal favourites; Montreal smoked meat sandwiches, reuben's, poutine, a gravy covered hot chicken sandwich reminiscent of a 1960’s diner, and their famous baked cheesecake as well as new, locally inspired recipes with a Montreal twist. The menu includes matzoh ball soup, a spaghetti slathered in rich tomato meat sauce and chopped smoked meat (a top three favourite on the Montreal menu), all day breakfast items and a children’s menu - Co-General Managers Stuart Heaven and Francis Lo think the six varieties of poutine will be popular with the late night crowd as well and with the kitchen open until 1 am on weekends and midnight on weekdays, it marks a return to late night dining in downtown Vancouver.

Located in the lower lobby of the new Capital 6 building, a building that includes the Orpheum Theatre rehearsal room, studio theatre and music school, Dunn’s Famous Restaurant & Delicatessen is open 7 days a week, all day from 10am – midnight and 1am on weekends featuring an all-day menu. Parking is available on the street as well as various parking lots across the street and in the area.
